Atop the hillock is the Parvati Temples, which are one of the most scenic locations in Pune. The temple is the oldest heritage structure in Pune and was built in the Peshwa Dynasty rule. It is also used as an observation spot for visitors of the panorama of Pune. It is the second highest point in Pune premises (after Vetal Hill). The hill has 103 steps, which is the way to the top of the hill where the temple is situated.
